On the floor, the bill presenter described partition of real property as the division of co-owned land, explained the bill would modernize the Partition Act, and said the measure permits a single referee (rather than three), allows real estate agents to serve as referees with compensation by commission in some cases, and makes partition-by-sale more likely by changing defaults. ‘‘What this bill essentially does is it makes this a more user friendly process to actually make partition a realistic option for property owners in Minnesota,’’ the presenter said, arguing the change would be less expensive and more efficient.

The bill also contains technical clarifications for eminent domain appeals to limit service and appeals to only parcels actually on appeal and to allow electronic service, which sponsors said will reduce cost and burden when multiple parcels are involved. On transfers-on-death deeds, sponsors said the bill makes some 2024 changes retroactive to correct an oversight, while leaving an insurance provision negotiated with the insurance federation nonretroactive.

Senators asked questions on the floor and the presenter thanked Kevin Dunlevy of the Minnesota State Bar Association’s real property section for long-running assistance in drafting the measure. The secretary gave the bill its third reading and members were ordered to vote; the provided transcript records the role call being taken but does not capture a final recorded vote tally or the Senate’s final disposition of the bill within the excerpt.

If enacted, the partition provisions would change default remedies and introduce new options intended to lower costs for co-owners seeking partition. Sponsors said the changes reflect practice and aim to provide judges a clearer framework for case-by-case discretion.

The transcript records the bill presentation, questions, and the start of roll-call voting for third reading; the final outcome (passage or failure) is not shown in the excerpt provided.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Senate Floor Session - 02/10/2025","oneSentenceSummary","Senate File 202, a comprehensive rewrite of Minnesota partition law plus technical changes on eminent domain appeals and transfers-on-death deeds, received floor presentation and was taken up for third reading; sponsors said the bill reduces costs and modernizes procedures but the transcript does not record a final passage tally.","taxTitle","2025 Legislature MN, Minnesota","taxId",77817,"location","Minnesota","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_46":81,"_48":82,"_50":83,"_52":84,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":85,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":86,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":71,"_72":73,"_74":73},6342527,"Senators reassign multiple bills from Commerce committee to Health, Judiciary amid unanimous consent",289,385000,674000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2254533-67dcc62ec743ab5fb8981c30baaaf9c4&start=385&end=674","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2254533-67dcc62ec743ab5fb8981c30baaaf9c4/thumbnail_385000.jpg","/articles/6342527/Minnesota/Senators-reassign-multiple-bills-from-Commerce-committee-to-Health-Judiciary-amid-unanimous-consent","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6342527-4c31cfe6d86ed45f54d947ae9de00604/orig.mp4?Expires=1770627158&Signature=YiY9HUgdGcFxfKDbiexJVndRzxQyEs4VqYs6Em-hACaD5cPHg3MYnf9fK9eKnRZZxZbxG8lHY5C15zQIiVmDyVMSwPPqptQZltjDoA3KxOSXt~UB-VOB82qXPt~GONtXxtdV5ZqwewAL7udfDiJdgp0C3KntuGRBMgGMTlJvvbFFl0i-HcrnD7YzyfUFg7ncoodsNSMou2kr7ZP2WTMirzdUc6BucD3S7tK5PjXZsTAFGzC9heeLLqF85YuG19biJJUPvhmfob0RB-iJT2l4zOkTQ4r~zfNr69SkSRb0~I8P8fXYCDRMYuRxZE5G4UXnemru6zbc6b67hq5dnhuHJQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Minnesota Senate on Monday approved several unanimous-consent motions to withdraw bills from the Committee on Commerce and Consumer Protection and re-refer them to other committees.

The bill, presented by Senator Maquade, was advanced as a ‘‘short and simple’’ piece of the larger literacy law. ‘‘This bill would allow districts to reduce instructional hours for students in the 2526 school year in order to make time for teacher training that is required by the REED Act,’’ Maquade said on the floor. She offered the A2 amendment to clarify which provisions apply to which schools; the amendment was adopted on a voice vote.

Senator Maquade said the change is agreed to by the Read Act coalition and is intended to be a narrow, urgent fix rather than a comprehensive rewrite. ‘‘Before you today is a very short and simple bill that we pass out of the education policy committee. This is not all of the REED Act for 2025. It is but a very important, urgent, and small piece of it,’’ she said. On the floor, Maquade explained the A2 amendment specifies the instructional-hours reduction applies to secondary schools only for the 2025–26 school year.

Senators discussed options for additional flexibility and expressed support for further work with districts and educators to expand training options. Senator Duckworth and others noted the importance of offering districts more options beyond the hours currently available. After the A2 amendment was adopted, the bill was read for third consideration and passed as amended; the secretary announced passage following the role call procedure.

The change applies only to the limited period and scope described in the bill language and adopted amendment; it does not represent a comprehensive change to the Read Act beyond the narrow instructional-hours provision for 2025–26.

Looking ahead, sponsors said they will continue discussions with districts and regional partners on implementation and additional flexibility options for educators.","The Minnesota Senate passed Senate File 334 as amended, a targeted change to the Read Act allowing certain instructional-hour reductions in 2025–26 so districts can provide teacher training required under the Read Act; an A2 amendment clarified the change applies to secondary schools for 2025–26.","actionData","errors"]
